Why I use my Meta Ray Ban glasses

A bit of a chat episode from me on a number of points of why I find the Meta Ray Ban glasses so helpful.

I’ve had mine now for about 3 Months, and for me, they work fine for such AI things:

Spot reading (what is this bit of paper or thing in the mail box),

What is the main text on this jar or packet,

Is my computer screen on (is there anything on the screen),

Where are my bins (garbage truck drops them in random spots some times),

Taxi number (good for drivers that want to take off and not take my Guide Dog),

Is there a train in front of me (when you have a noisy goods train on the opposite track),

Is there a seat (taxi, bus or train station seat),

Is my phone showing anything or has the speech stop working,

Is there any cars for me crossing the road (I think I heard a car pull up but?),

What does the sign say on this shop,

Are there stairs, a lift or escalator in front of me?

Are there any people near me,

What does this park, building, house etc look like,

Can you see my Guide Dog (dog) in the back yard,

And so on.

 

As far as usual voice assistance, you can also do:

Play Music,

Answer/hang up a phone call,

Send and read back a message,

What is the time date,

What is the weather,

Calculate numbers,

Convert stuff,

Ask more in-depth questions about a topic,

etc.

 

However the big big one is the connectivity with Be-My-Eyes where via the glasses connected to the Be-My-Eyes app on the phone, you can get a sighted volunteer to see through the glasses you are waring and get sighted assistance.

Also of course, NOA Chat for extra O&M info via WhatsApp, and the Chat GPT text function also via WhatsApp.
